I knew it wouldnt be long before i had some to rant about.

Fox news is at it again. But this time they are all but blaming video games for the destruction of the earth.

It appears that Fox has issued a report (that i didnt see the original of) that says video games cause people to stay inside (Videophilia) and care less about the environment thus causing all of what is troubling the earth. (global warming, extinction etc, etc, FRIGGIN SHUT UP!!!!

This is not a joke here is some of the article i read:

Not satisfied with making an utter fool of itself over the Mass Effect "controversy," Fox's pathetic attempts to discredit the games industry have reached new levels of ridiculous as it jumps on a recent hypocritical news piece for its site. The "news" source's Web site has published a story (with a stupid headline) that claims research is now blaming videogames for the eventual decline of Mother Nature herself. It only briefly acknowledged the fact that televisions and computers are actually what the researchers reference in their little assassination attempt. 

The report claims that videogames cause people to stay indoors, and staying indoors, suffering from "videophilia," leads to a decrease in one's interest in nature ... this means that they do not care about natural conservation and ... all the bears commit suicide as a cry for help!? I don't know. I don't know HOW they're trying to pass this one off, it defies all logic and sense.  

How can a news network actually allow this kind of crap to be released. Did they get bought out by inside edition or something. Somebody please tell me if i missed this because that would explain all of the stupidity that they have recently been spewing.

Maybe, just maybe Fox has secretly hired some of those unemployed writers to come up with some absurd story lines.

I can't begin to explain how much this frustrates me. No matter how hard i hit the keyboard it just doesnt help. Where is my therapist?

It bothers me that they are attacking gaming but i am also bothered by the fact that they call this news. Hey Fox need something to fill some space how bout profiling a service member each night in honor of their sacrifice.

As many of you who read my rants may have noticed i don't curse. Not that i didn't use to. And not that it bothers me, it was just a personal choice. So here is what it should look like.

#@### Fox News they are a bunch of !$@#@% idiots with journalism degrees. How can anyone %^$#%^% print this kind of &^%$&. ^%*&(*), %&*()_, %&%$$%, (*&^()__+{,

Get the point.

Other news:

Watched The Moment of Truth for the 1st time last night. Kinda thought it was cool but something in my gut tells me part of this is scripted. Just doesnt seem real enough. Dunno.

My American Idol watching is done for the year. I only watch the auditions. Just can't get enough of those fools who will do anything to get on tv. I mean really the ones that suck have to know that they do i mean c'mon.

See Ya

Jon
